“The SHARK SD101® together with Next Wave CNC SHARK WIZARD® Software offer the shortest learning curve possible on a CNC machine.  If you’re looking to dive into CNC without learning more robust design software, this SHARK WIZARD® is made for you. 

The SHARK WIZARD® is equipped with thousands of project templates that you can customize and then transmit to your Shark SD101 with a few keystrokes. The SHARK WIZARD® software provides projects for Carving, Lasering, and Rotary 4th (Laser & Rotary 4th Axis accessories sold separately).  Built-in video tutorials will walk you through each stage of setup so you can be up and running quickly. 

The Shark SD101® CNC features a compact 15” x 21” table with a XYZ cutting area 12” x 13” x 4”.   The footprint allows the entire machine to store under or on one end of your workbench.   This full-function CNC machine can produce high-quality 2D and 3D plaques or signs, ornamental boxes, and precision parts machined from wood, soft metals, or plastics. 

The Next Wave CNC SD101® is made in the USA and includes USA Based Technical Support for the Original Owner. 

The SHARK SD101® also includes Next Wave CNC’s exclusive easy to use Ready2Control Basic panel software which allows the user complete visibility and control over the entire project during CNC operation.

The SD101® is fully upgradeable:   Once you feel you want to progress into additional designing, the SD101 is fully compatible with any of the VCarve design programs (sold separately).    Add a pendant to the SD101® and you can operate it without the need to have a computer attached. (sold separately).   

The SHARK SD101® has an added feature not found on other CNC’s, you can adjust the slotted bed forward or backward to allow the SHARK SD101® to perform clamping and machining on ends of long boards such as box joints or tenons. See the manual for more information.  

Introducing the Shark Swap advantage! When you’ve conquered the realm of CNC and feel ready to transition to a more substantial unit, consider trading in the SHARK SD101® This remarkable upgrade comes with an exclusive factory-sponsored trade-in initiative known as Shark Swap.   Under this program, your previously owned SHARK SD101® will undergo a complete refurbishment and then be generously donated, at no cost to you, to a technical shop in schools across the country. This initiative aims to contribute to the education of students by providing them with hands-on experience in CNC functionality.
